Do overtime jobs

During the time of the debt, the interest rate of the credit card keeps on increasing and this rate has to be stopped by paying the debt. You would have to do that as soon as possible as your peace of mind will be becoming lesser in proportional to the increasing interest.

Don’t worry you can leave the job as soon as you are free from the debts.

Though it’s good that you want to come out of the debt but it’s essential to save some of the money for the time of the emergency. Emergencies can hit anytime and you should have some money for those needs. If you don’t save this, you would be stuck for your basic needs and that would make you frustrated.
